Any MTSOs on these boards anymore? question for someone who is either MTSO or has their own clients - Maggie

Posted: Apr 29, 2015

I have been using OLD system with Windows 2000 and Outlook express to run the Digital Dictate and Express Delegate. It is finally starting to give me issues. I was looking into jsut upgrading to a new platform, BUT with all the cloud type places out there, the idea of not having to deal with equipment at all is quite intriguing.

Who is using something beside Dial Dictate and Express Delegate to get their dictations and send to any MTs working with them?

Thanks

Maggie

Most clients can have their digital handheld recorders, and upload their voice files to sharefile, dropbox, etc. Files can be uploaded and downloaded with login and password and they are secure sites. You can create folders for your transcriptionists and have log-in data for each of them to retrieve their work. Files can also be password protected and encrypted and transferred back and forth through e-mail if the provider you use is in HIPAA compliance.

Thanks. none of my docs use hand held, some will sneak in on a cell phone giving it that underwater gurgly sound. I have been looking at a company called Cloud Dictation but was just wondering what others are doing with only a small client base...all hospitals having gone to voice recog...

Been using them for years and have not had a problem. Tech support is superb.

Is this something that one other MT can access? I have no clue as to anything other than the Express Delegate and Dial Dictate that I bought from R.T. King over 10 years ago. This has worked wonderfully, turning the dictated files automatically to voice files that were then automatically emailed to assigned MT. So I am at a loss as to where to go with this now. So any info is helpful and I thank you.

Go to Bytescribe.com. They have a cloud server, wave player and software to route dictations to your MT's, and physician offices, also phone in lines (though Vonage) that are pretty reasonable. Docs can use their iphone to dictate/record also, much clearer that way, or use a digital recorder.

As much as we all like for things to go back the way they were before VR, before offshoring, before the EMR, that is unlikely to happen. I come from an era of transcription where we actually could support ourselves on being a medical transcriptionist. Unfortunately, that is not the case with transcription any longer. I work for three different companies and there isn't a dime's worth of diference in any of them low pay, long hours, supervisors that are not MTs that ar ...

Anyone have an idea of what MTSO client rates run? I'm thinking 18-22 cpl for acute care (depending on TAT) and 16-20 cents for clinic (depending on TAT). Do you think these rates are totally outrageous or about in the ballpark? ...

How to easily link to boards here, since links don't "click" unless one does the following. Go to the site you want to link. Highlight it as if you were "copying" it. Paste into Link field here below your note. You subject line will come up in that link and we can all click it. ...

Sometimes I think we need two Nuance boards. One for everyone who is disgruntled and need a place to vent, and another for those of us who are trying to keep a positive outlook can find some encouragement. The "Gooooood Morning" post a few days ago made me think about that. It would be good to interact with our fellow Nuance coworkers, but after visiting the board, I am usually upset and rattled by all the negativity...... ...

for a while know you must be "that guy" whose responsibility it is to come here and do damage control. Whenever something big happens in a company or an MT gets a raw deal, there is always someone who attaches themselves to a thread to blame the MT - obviously their quality sucked or clearly they didn't show up for work or everyone else is getting laid off so why not you. Here's the thing - we see you a mile away. The fact that you randomly decided to show up on the boards ...

Messages are appearing on the main board for word help, questions about companies, and those looking for jobs. Messages are posted on the Job Seeker's board for questions about companies. Is there that many new people on this board that haven't read the guidelines or checked the different boards out before posting or is everyone just in a hurry and decide to post wherever or whatever board they are on? Sorry, people, but I'm in a bad mood today and when I go to t ...

The original company I worked for was sold to a big company and I had loads of unanswered questions. I would call supervisor or someone who had been in contact with the peeps from my old company and ask away. Now I find out I have been labeled a troublemaker because I ask too many questions. I guess I would have been wiser to just come on this board and fire away with complaints, questions or anything else I wanted to know. I know my future is gone now where I am. &n ...

I am wondering when you started soliciting clients if you already had a platform in place or did you wait to see what the potential clients were already using. I want to start trying to get my own accounts as there have been a lot of practices open up near me recently, but not sure of the steps to take in the beginning. I am thinking of using Emdat Inscribe as I am already familar with it, but not sure if that is something I need to set up first or is that a waste if the cl ...

Just wondering, for those MTs who do now or in the past have had their own clients...if you had dictators whose dictation style was extremely fast, haphazard or overall just terrible to understand, would you ever contact them and ask that they slow down or clean it up a little? Am curious if you felt you had a right to request decent dictations to work with when you were your own boss. ...

Hi Everyone, Right now the company I work for hardly has any work. I am thinking about sending out a letter to local clinics and also maybe putting out an ad on craigslist for transcription work. Have you tried this? I have questions: What things do I have to consider? How do I charge people (I know I can do line count in INstantText and figure out line count and cost)-is 10 CPL a good place to start? Are there other costs I need to factor in? How about tax ...

Just thinking out loud here. I know many practices probably do their own outsourcing to MTs at home. Why not more? It must be cheaper for them with higher quality work, personalized service, etc. Some hospitals even hire MTs to work from home rather than use an MTSO. How can we, as the MT community, reach more clients/practices. Surely they have a liason in the office who handles the direction of their transcribed reports, in-house editing; someone who could do ...

I mean, I'm an IC, or whatever I'm called now since I'm doing VR.....there has been talk around the company that perhaps the providers don't even know their documents have been moved to VR. In reality, I think that this might ring true! Some of us have quit for ethical reasons, and I can say for certain my VR isn't getting any better with the ahhs and ands and everything else that seems to be in the dication that shouldn't be. After all, the VR doe ...

20 years ago, like a lot of us, I worked at home typing dictations from cassettes on a typewriter! Recently I was asked by a health care provider if I can do her dictation notes on her own program, using her own templates, send them to her printer from my computer, like is done with the national company I work for. How do I do set this up in this day and age? Can I download her program onto a thumb drive and put in my own computer? How do I get her templates into my ...

I just need advice on how to get started, who makes the decisions in clinics and offices, and so on... Thanks in advance... MTdude ...

shouldn't be held responsible for what MQ says. If MQ doesn't want the responsibility for correct reports, they shouldn't make the deals, instead of making deals and then underpaying MTs and putting all the responsibility on them. All MQ is after is the money, not the responsibility that goes with making the money. ...

This post is in regard to posts I have seen lately on this board regarding dictators. They actually do care or must feel they need to address situations that I bring to their attention. A call regarding flags from the physician himself. He is realizing how much time I am spending locating certain info not dictated. He tells me officially that the facility is to handle that now so as not to take up my time. A call from a dictator today, stating as he made so many errors and redictations on the ...

This is the first time I've done this, and I'd like to offer a free trial. However, I can't do too much as I'm still working for an MTSO. Any suggestions on what would be a reasonable amount of work to do for free? Not sure if I should say something like maximum 10 letters, or maybe 1, 2, 3, days average work. I think the trial would be of mutual benefit. I'd get an idea of how difficult their work is and they could see the quality of my work. Would ...
